Re: Indiana University 2010-2011 Men's Basketball Thread

To say Davis was in over his head was an understatement.

The guy sent a recruiting packet for another player to Mike Conley, all while he wasn't recruiting Conley! Oden told him they were a package deal, and he still didn't warm up to the idea of Mike Jr.......

(I heard some of the story straight out of Greg's mouth btw)

You can disagree with way Knight went out, but the next 6 years were a trainwreck caused directly by the ineptness of the Athletic Department.

Who in their right mind thought Sampson was going to work out? He left Oklahoma with recruiting violations......

That doesn't even stratch the surface of all the high "character" players Sampson brought in.

Watch the video, Tom Crean in the lobby of Assembly Hall immediately after the IU game tonight.

I swear to God...I cried. It's been way too long. It just makes me so happy. I know, I know. Act like you've been there before, but my god it's been so long and so frustrating. It's nice to get a win like that and it's so refreshing to see that it meant just as much to Crean as it did for us.

One of which was just recently arrested in Terre Haute for posession of a bunch of pot...But I dirgress, great win! I don't think you can question whether or not Crean "gets it".

"But, first, let us now praise famous moments, because something happened Tuesday night in Indianapolis that you can watch a lifetime’s worth of professional basketball and never see again. There was a brief, and very decisive, and altogether unprecedented, outburst of genuine officiating, and it was directed at the best player in the world, and that, my dear young person, simply is not done."

Yeah I can't hear you through our 5 national championship banners and I'm pretty sure MSU's 2 do a pretty good job cancelling out your noise.

Please win even one and then you can talk to the big boys.

Ha I'm just teasing, but I'm pretty happy with my Boilermakers. Of course I would love some banners, but if I could have one or the other, I would rather be winning in the present. If we had 5 banners and were not winning, I would not be happy. I am happy winning now though.

Enjoy it while you can. We are rising, and your recruiting isn't up to par. In two years, order will be restored.
